    Tilt/trim issue

    The filling needs to be done when the motors all the way down. 30w oil. If it lifts and then drifts down you need to read the first 5 posts in this forum One of them has a lot of info on the T@T system. Hint: there's nothing in the hyd.pump that you can fix.

    1998 mercury force 40hp water in bottom cyliner.

    Merc 40 Force - Takes forever to start

    The click means the key is making it click. To test: unhook the hose from the carb and then push the key as you turn it over. It should have a squirt of gas when the key's engaged. If you unhook the hose and it squirts gas without the key then the enricher is bad. It has a rubber diaphragm that...

    Chrysler 55 one cylinder occasionally fires

    Reading the tag: no other numbers that I see. From the number that I do see it seems to be a 69-71 Pull the flywheel and file the points, do the set that's not firing too.

    85 horse dropped number 3 cylinder.

    See how bad it is?? lay it flat on a piece of glass and using a feeler gauge. Most cases it isn't that bad and a new head gasket will work. But take it off and check for damage??
